Grammatically speaking, it is not an error but it is better to say 'raise poultry'

(1) We can say "The children were playing in the yard", why can't we say "She has his own poultry in farm. "
(2) Please wait me at/ in cinema.
I can't differentiate when I should use in and when I should use at while I am using them to express a place.
Could anybody help me with it?
Many thanks in advance

"She has his own poultry in farm. " = She own a farm where she raises chicken, and ducks goose.
If she raises only chickens, we can simple call it a chicken farm.
It's always "in the yard". i.e. Paul is going some gardening in the backyard. Sam plans to put a fountain in the backyard.
But " John was raised on the farm", not "in the farm".

Vctory Ong,
Preposition usages often times are not easily defined. In the corner, or at the corner are often questions asked. The only way we can become more comfortable using them is by referencing to qualified English materials and use them as much as possible.
(2) Please wait me at/ in cinema.
For this question, you could either say "pleas
